Winforms - Bring Window On Top Of All Windows?

Dec 17, 2011

I have a window which should stay on top of Power point slide shows. So it should be on top of all the windows. I did this easily using VB 6 using Lib "user32", but it seems to be difficut with VB.net.

Me.TopMost = True

This does not seem to work as it works only within the program.

Private Declare Function BringWindowToTop Lib "user32" Alias "BringWindowToTop" (ByVal hwnd As Long) As Long
Private Sub frmTmr_Activated(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Activated

Bring Window To Foreground?

Oct 15, 2009

I am trying to use appactivate to bring a window to the foreground however this is not working. When the program is already open on the desktop and there are other windows on top of it and I use AppActivate then it brings that window into the foreground. However if that window is minimized to the windows bar below, then the only thing appactivate does is have that program selected but it does not bring it into the foreground. I need to have any window forced to the foreground while retaining its original size.

VS 2005 Window Bring To Front

Oct 24, 2009

So I have this code to make a "windows taskbar". When you click on an item, it's supposed to bring that window to the front. The only problem is that's not happening. When I use Debug.WriteLine, it has the right window title, except it doesn't come to the front. What's wrong? There is no EntryPointNotFoundException or anything, it just doesn't bring the window to the front.

Bring Up Start Menu In Windows Mobile 6.5 App (full Screen) In Compact

Jun 20, 2011

My app is built in vb.net compact. All these years in all versions when user taps at the top or bottom of the screen (depending on where the task bar is located) it brings up the task bar and start menu fine. But now the latest OS build doesn't do it anymore. I'm thinking of having a button in my app to bring up the task bar but not sure how to do it.However, in IE full screen there is a circular button that brings up the task bar. If I can accomplish it in my app that would be good.

Winforms - Get Second Active Window?

Dec 17, 2011

I need to create a form where AlwaysOnTop = True when the browser is visible. This creates some sort over "overlay". The logic works like this:

The program checks which window is active.If the active windows is a certain process, my form will initialize the TopMost utility, and be the active window itself. When the certain process is not the active window anymore, my form will disappear.

[Code]...

My program checks if a browser is the active window, if so: the form gets topmost and the program stops checking what the active window is. (because my topmost form is the active window now).Now the program needs to check what the window under my form is, the second active window. If it's not the browser anymore, the form needs to hide, and the program will check what the active window is again.

I already completed the function that checks what the first active window is, I'm stuck on getting the function that checks what the second active window is.

At design time, however, a different editor pops up which allows one to choose an image from resources.I'm guessing I could run some kind of program, then open up the image editor, from the property grid, and see what new windows/classes have been created?
